Abstract: An earlier work presented an approach towards the distributed simulation of timed Petri nets. The approach presented in this paper is based on some major changes to Chandy and Misra's null message based scheme. These changes were required because the well known distributed simulation schemes for discrete event systems do not directly apply to timed Petri nets due to non-autonomous nature of place nodes in these systems. Moreover, the proposed scheme incorporated several ideas to increase the degree of concurrency and to reduce the number of overhead messages in distributed simulation. This paper provides several algorithmic details to implement the proposed approach. The specific model of timed Petri nets was also presented earlier.
